Takaaki Katagiri (片桐 隆明, Katagiri Takaaki ?) is No. 3 Gunner and Captain of Katagiri Squad, as well as one of the twelve candidates for the Black Trigger Fūjin.[2]
Appearance[]
Takaaki has layered, short hair with bangs, relaxed features, and rectangular glasses.
His uniform comprises a high-collared, side-buttoned coat over a mock turtleneck. Snowflake enamel pins are located on both sides of the collar, while shoulder marks are likewise on both shoulders. The squad emblem covers the left breast. While visiting the base, he has been seen wearing a lime green suit jacket over a blue necktie and white dress shirt.

Takaaki is amiably polite,[3] as demonstrated by when Jin came to HQ.[4] He has been praised for his composed and reliable demeanor,[5] the former of which was demonstrated when he first learned of Tamakoma Second's unexpected victory against Ninomiya Squad.[6] However, his reasonable nature[7] is juxtaposed with a tendency to mispronounce idiomatic phrases.[8]
